Ghost Peek-a-Boo! Booklet and Preposition Activity

Halloween is an exciting time and one of the most fun holidays of the year for many children. They get to dress up in wacky costumes, and they get treats and candy to boot. As teachers, we can embrace our students' excitement by bringing it into our curriculum. The KidsSoup materials offers several ideas that will allow you to do just that.

After the pages are colored, have children put the pages in order with the title page on top. Ask children to find the title page and point to the title on the page. Watch as they complete this step--you can gain much information about their understanding of print concepts.

Send the booklet home with children with the following note to provide the children’s families direction as they read the book with their children.

Dear Family,Today at school I made this book. It helps me learn prepositions as I play. (A preposition describes a relationship between other words in a sentence.)You can help me by reading the pages with me and by helping me find the correct placement for my ghost!

If You're a Ghost and You Know It
(Tune: If You're Happy and You Know It)

If you're a ghost and you know it,
Just say BOO!
If you're a ghost and you know it,
Just say BOO!
If you're a ghost and you know it and you really want to show it--
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say BOO!
